[Valecnik]

Played by Sousa's band. Could anyone tell me exactly when this would have been recorded?

Thanks, what a great resource. I did not know about it. I find here 5 takes of this record number, all recorded by Sousa's band. Amazingly the first take was recorded in 1905 and the last one in 1912. I cannot find any matrix no or anything of the sort which would indicate which take I have here.

There's also three earlier takes (Victor 343) of Blue Danube Waltz by Sousa, issued in 7" inch form just about a year prior. How odd.
